The Reds cruised into the last eight of the Champions League as Gerrard struck twice in a 4-0 thrashing of the La Liga side, with Fernando Torres and Andrea Dossena also on the scoresheet.

After Yossi Benayoun‘s winner in the Bernabeu two weeks ago, Rafael Benitez’s men made sure of their place in the quarter-finals as they inflicted Madrid’s worst ever European defeat in the competition.

These are the Reds’ reflection over the victorious night.

RAFA (the manager) : “The team had a lot of confidence and approached the game in the right way. I think the atmosphere helped us a lot as well so there are many positives, it was a fantastic all-round performance.”

GERRAD (the captain) : “We’re all really pleased. It was important to win and book our place in the last eight. It was a fantastic team performance tonight.”

TORRES (the striker) : “We showed Real Madrid that this is Anfield and Liverpool can win against any team here.”

KUYT (the striker) : “I don’t know whether or not it’s the best we’ve played since I’ve been here, but if you beat Real Madrid 5-0 overall it’s great and hopefully it will prove to be one of our biggest results.”
